McKinsey Game Score

Hi,

I recently received the result of my McKinsey Solve game. It's 486 with 25 percentile. I know it's an awful score, my question till what time do these scores remain valid? When can I reapply so that retake the game assessment?

Thank You

Hi there

Q: What time do these scores remain valid? When can I reapply so that retake the game assessment?

The score is valid for 12 months, meaning that if you apply after that you can retake the game.

You can find an article below with a few tips:

 McKinsey Problem Solving Game Article

If you want to prepare further, you can find below a guide with:

  • 15 videos showing how to crack the Ecosystem Game in 23 minutes (instead of the recommended 35) and resist 25+ turns in the Plant Defense (instead of the minimum target of 15)
  • Automated Excel with Formulas to build a food chain in the Ecosystem game in 16 minutes
  • PDF guide with all the 5 games and how to crack each of them

You can check the guide at the following link - full disclosure, I am the author ;)

In case you have any other questions on the game please feel free to PM me, I would be happy to help.

Best,

Francesco

Hi there,

Sorry to hear about your score!

You're going to need to wait about a year.

Next time around, consider investing in resources/coaching to make sure you pass! The ROI is kind of a no-brainer…

Hi there, 

Most offices have a 1 year freeze, but it's best to check directly with the recruiter. 

Otherwise, you can apply for a different office / country. Most of the time the systems for tracking candidates are not integrated and you can go through the process again.

Best,

Cristian

Hey there,

Solve Game scores are valid for 12 months. For every application that is started after 12 months, you would need to retake the game.

Cheers,

Florian

How were you able to get your scores? I just took the Solve assessment this weekend, and although I'm sure I passed, I would love to see how I did. Do you simply ask the recruiter for your McKinsey PSG/Solve assessment score? (I thought asking this was frowned upon, unless I'm mistaken)

Hello!

Sorry to hear about that, you will have a ban period now. 

The reason for the ban is that you need to add "relevant" experience to your CV, and you need at least 12-18 months for that. 

A referral would for sure help, but after the required months. 

Don´t give up!

Cheers,

Clara
